What's your prediction on Sims this week? Are you playing him or Bernard?

I am currentyl at 1-7. ( we have a 2 pt scoring system 1 pt for a win and 1 pt for scoring in the top 5 for the week). So my 1 win is from just sneaking in to th top 5 in scoring for a week.

Gonna be a loooong year

I was curious, so I looked up your draft. Man, you have been decimated by injuries- A.Peterson, D.Martin. And Palmer grew very old over the offseason. Hopkins was an outlier, but Hill will continue to drive you nuts. He'll explode for points when he's sitting on the bench and then disappoint when he's in the lineup.

Demaryius Thomas is a must start they said.....The Chargers have a weakened secondary.....Thomas is going to post at least 14 points and is a solid start etc....meanwhile with a compromised hip, nothing like a dud performance to get my weekend off to powerful start.

Re: 2016 Fantasy Football Thread- General Discussion

I have a moment every year like this... I actually drafted Ajayi late, carried him on the bench for several weeks, and dropped him 2 weeks ago. I did the same thing with David Johnson in TWO leagues last year... drafted him, carried him on the bench and dropped him the week before he took over and went crazy.

Of course not, lol. Last year, every decision I made was right. Every waiver wire pick up performed. Hell, I rotated like 4 qb's through out the year and I always seemed to play the right one at the right time.

This year has been the opposite.

I hear that. It seems like my lineups are hanging on just until the last game ends.... And it always seems like my opponents have the player that scores 30 points and I'm stuck with the 15-20 point players..... UGH!!!!

My season has truly gone into the toilet as I have have underperformed for 4 weeks in a row and Russell Wilson has simply been a disaster. I started him last week, while leaving Derek Carr and his 40 points on the bench, and thus I chased the points this week, starting Carr, and got garbage in return.

Re: 2016 Fantasy Football Thread- General Discussion

I'm in a strange league, and I'm not complaining. The other teams are happy with their rosters and don't appear interested in picking up players on waivers.

I've picked up Christine Michael, Jay Ajayi, and D. Booker after every else passed. I can't believe Big Ben was dropped, so I claimed him, too. Latavius Murray is still unclaimed and there are much worse RB's on team's rosters. And usually, I have to wait in line (close to last) while the teams with worse records have first crack.

I've been in tough leagues before. It's nice to finally be in one where my opponents are very slow moving with waiver pick ups.

One of the big problems for me, has been my inability to find any gems on the waiver wire. Going after the hot picks like Meredith, Britt, Henry, etc... has been too little too late as they have done their best in the weeks prior and my so called studs, have underperformed almost all year long.

Re: 2016 Fantasy Football Thread- General Discussion

Not that it matter much in my one league because I am bottom dwelling, but ging into this week I had 3 players listed as officially out and 7 players on a bye...lol. I had to dig deep in the dregs that are available to field a starting lineup

I don't mean to make light of your team, but we've all been there. It stinks.
